partings ever are. On the following day Mrs. Samuel Williams was
buried, a large number of friends and neighbors following the
remains to their long home. Rev. Sweet officiating on both
days.

A party of New
Yorkers landed in town, one day last week, and announcing that they
were going to settle on a farm six miles west of the brave men
bought some oxen and went out to look their purchase over. The next
news the whole party, fair women and brave men had departed. They
found the country too rough they said. Verily, New York is welcome
to them. We want no such pioneers in Dorchester, Wis.
